Can great success be achieved with NASDAQ picks?

I think you should read the book a little more closely before selecting stocks on the NASDAQ. The AIM methodology seems to work best when a stock is very unlikely to go out of business, or be replaced in the niche it currently inhabits. This is my interpretation of the way to select the stocks that are AIMable. Consequently some NASDAQ stocks would be suitable for AIM portfolios and some I would avoid. Pennystocks would not be in my world of AIM.

Perhaps you could read back thru this thread and see some of the discussions that have taken place regarding betas, alphas and volatility.

PS, I have a copy of an AIM Excel spreadsheet but I have lost the instruction sheet that goes with it where the credit is given to the original author and cannot forward it without that. Sorry. I believe you will need at least Excel version 7.0 (Office 95) to use the "sheets" in this example.

The spreadsheet that Bill Riedeman developed is on its way to you. The only condition is that you not resell it in any form. i also included the instruction .txt file which Bill asked be included.

Jeff Weber has some picks along the line you have interest in (his site is referenced in note 0 for this thread), but keep in mind that AIM is a get rich slow system. Part of having low risk I'm afraid.
